I'm ALWAYS drawing, its my medication

This project came to me courtesy of the #sciencechannel, lol. And Marvel Comics. NOT the MCU.

I wanted to show the Silver Surfer contemplating riding space/time via gravity waves. And where would he find the best ones? At the event horizon of a black hole.

I’m not going to lie; I did a few thumbnails for this one. Multiple light sources, whether I wanted to stylize or try to get more realistic. At one point I was going to simply have him sitting on his board as a smaller figure in front of a feeding blackhole. I decided against that.

I finally just had him standing on a asteroid. It worked better for me. Hope you like it as well.

I got a little further on my Silver Surfer image today. Laying down all the base reflective surfaces in his chrome, with the clearing work to come. I’m happy with it, but I actually had someone ask me about the color swirl he was looking at.

“It’s a blackhole’s event horizon.”, I answered.

Then ended up watching them Google it as they tried to argue with me. I just put my earphones back on.

Okay… this is my third drawing of the actress who played GoGo Yubati in “Kill Bill”. I need to get her out of my system. She’s like Amy Winehouse that way, lol.

When I draw her, I try not to make her appear demure. Too much of that going on among artist as is. It gets attention, but then so does a stick figure with circles for boobs. You never know what people are REALLY into when you sex it up.

My style causes me trouble occasionally. Like when I mix genres.

I started this out in the usual way, but I knew that I would ink over a lot of it. No biggie.

However, when I started to do so, I realized that the tones weren’t dark enough. I had to go back and deepen it.
